RAISING AWARENESS IN PINK

More than 40 girls from the girls junior varsity and girls varsity tennis teams at San Juan Hills High School participated in a Pink Out at the school this month. The event aimed to raise awareness about breast cancer.

The team had partnered with Orange County Diagnostics of Ladera Ranch, which provided packets of information for the students and parents. OC Diagnostics also donated gifts, including pink tennis balls, to each girl.

The team, whose varsity captain is Lauren Rudolph and junior varsity captain is Alyssa Picariello, both of Ladera Ranch, had a fun day wearing pink tennis attire and matching pink hair clips and enjoyed pink drinks and treats, while playing their matches against Laguna Hills High School with pink tennis balls.

GOLFERS RAISE $18,000 FOR CHARITY

About 128 golfers raised more than $18,000 during the seventh annual charity golf tournament honoring Lauren Ann Marshall, who died from a seizure on Mother's Day in 2007. The tournament, which is run by her parents, Mark and Wendi Marshall of Mission Viejo, and her sister, Megan Marshall Higgins of Rancho Santa Margarita, was held at Tijeras Creek Golf Club in Rancho Santa Margarita. The proceeds will be donated to Service Dogs for Independence in Arizona, which helps provide patients with guide dogs that can alert them before a seizure strikes.

During the event, 31 blue balloons were released by family members representing what would have been Lauren's 31st birthday on Oct. 20. The event also featured a dinner, golf awards, silent auction, helicopter ball drop and raffle prizes. The highlight was Team Lauren’s donation of vests for three therapy dogs, owned by Tyler Ashcroft, Jacob Priestley and Eike-Janina Cody.
